Question

Paste without Formatting Freezes Indesign

I've copied from other inDesign documents and paste without formatting into a different document and it freezes the entire program. I already trashed my preferences, uninstalled and reinstalled, and also used different documents to test out whether it was the file that was corrupted. I also tried changing the keyboard shortcuts and when I press the keyboard shortcuts Command + Shift + V, it freezes. I am able to right-click and paste without formatting but I'd like to be able to use keyboard shortcuts.

Reinstalling rarely fixes everything - you can do a complete reinstall using the

Any recent updates? OS, InDesign?

 

Or maybe some additional software is using the same shortcut?

It started happening yesterday before I updated it and also after I updated the inDesign program.
